Inject Cluster Context Into Team Discussions
Team discussions are richer when everyone has context. When someone comments on a team issue, Notis automatically shares relevant cluster status.
Trigger
Public Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on a *public-team* Linear issue. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_COMMENT_CREATED`.
Action
Get Bonsai Cluster Details
Tool to retrieve details for a single bonsai cluster by slug. use when you need to inspect a cluster's configuration and status.
Why this helps
Your team is discussing work on an issue, but no one has the current Bonsai cluster status. Someone has to look it up mid-conversation, breaking flow. Or the discussion proceeds without cluster context, leading to decisions based on incomplete information.
- Keep team discussions informed with current cluster status
- Reduce interruptions to look up system information
- Enable better decisions by providing context when needed
- Build stronger team awareness of system capacity and status
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 11. Connect Linear and Bonsai to Notis (portal -> Settings -> Integrations).
- 22. Create a new automation: Automations -> New Automation.
- 33. Prompt: 'When a comment is posted on a public team issue, get the Bonsai cluster details and share them in the thread so the team has current status.'
- 44. Select 'Public Team Comment Created' as the trigger. Choose the notification channel.
- 55. Test by posting a comment on a public team issue and verify Notis retrieves and shares the cluster details in response.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create noise if many comments are made?
By default, it responds to each comment. You can refine the prompt to respond only to comments containing certain keywords like '@cluster' or '#status'.
What if the issue is private?
This automation is for public team issues. For private teams, create a separate automation using the 'Private Team Comment Created' trigger.
Can it share specific cluster metrics?
It retrieves full cluster details. You can refine the prompt to highlight specific metrics: 'Share cluster capacity, uptime, and recent incidents.'
Does it update automatically if cluster status changes?
No, it only shares status when a new comment is made. For real-time updates, create a separate scheduled automation.
